Local Weather History For June 9th...

2005: A regional outbreak of severe storms, including tornadoes, developed east of a dryline late this day that stretched
from northwest Kansas south to the Texas South Plains. In the NWS Lubbock forecast area, at least three tornadoes were
confirmed from two particularly intense supercell thunderstorms. The first of these supercells developed in southwest
Lubbock County late in the afternoon before rapidly intensifying as it approached southeast Hale County. As this supercell
was over Petersburg, an exceptionally long-lived tornado touched down and tracked generally east into south-central Floyd
County for the next 2 hours and 45 minutes! F1 tornadic damage was surveyed in Petersburg where a local tractor business
suffered significant damage. This tornado then intensified and assumed a large, multiple vortex structure around which
time NWS Doppler radar indicated exceptionally erratic motion and behavior with the parent mesocyclone. This massive
tornado deviated north from its easterly motion, then began moving west, before resuming an easterly track. Unfortunately,
significant damage was dealt to all structures in the path of this tornado and F3 damage was determined at one point when
a pickup truck was thrown over 1/2 mile from a driveway into a field. Amazingly, this truck sustained only glass damage
indicating it was maintained in a lofted state for at least several seconds. At times, NWS radar indicated this massive
tornado may have been accompanied by occasional satellite tornadoes; however, no definitive evidence of this was found.
Despite generally poor visibility due to the time of evening and lack of light, extensive video of this tornado was
captured by media and storm chasers. Upon dissipating ten miles east of McCoy, this tornado caused over $70M in structural
damage and around $300,000 in damage to crops. Another supercell to the south produced two F0 tornadoes in Crosby and
Dickens Counties; both of which remained over undeveloped land.
